Tokyo Tutor: Starting with My Ex-Girlfriend's Sister

Chapter 84: The Threat from the Himeno Family

Rewind to an hour earlier, when Kimura Kanmi, in the Himeno Group building, suddenly received a phone call.

"Ms. Kimura, something terrible has happened. We've been monitoring Yamazaki Kazuka's residence and discovered something very bad."

"What's wrong?"

"This man named Yamazaki Kazuka would come to Mr. Himeno Yukiaki's house every day with a woman."

"Mr. Yukiaki Himeno's house? Then Yamazaki is with Ms. Natsuki Himeno now."

Upon receiving the message, Kimura Kanmi was so startled she almost dropped her phone.

"That's right, that's correct."

"No way. Does this mean Mrs. Qingxue approves of their relationship?"

Kimura Kanmi couldn't believe it was true. If it were, she and her subordinates would look like clowns.

"Impossible. Unless Mrs. Hime has been drugged, she would never agree to let such a person become her son-in-law."

In order to find out what happened, Kimura Kanmi went to the Himeno family.

However, the truth surprised her greatly.

Yamazaki Kazuka not only worked for the Himeno family, but also served as their tutor.

Did Mrs. Himeno really agree to marry Himeno Natsuki to Yamazaki Kazuka?

Kimura Kanmi felt very embarrassed.

If this matter is investigated further, it may anger Himeno Natsuki or even Himeno Kiyoseki.

"Ms. Kimura, let's stop now."

Clearly, the subordinates no longer wanted to investigate further.

"Does Madam Qingxue know that her governess and her daughter had a romantic relationship?"

Kimura Kanmi thought this matter was very strange.

Soon, she received another piece of news: Yamazaki Kaze was introduced by Inoue Keiko, a distant cousin of Himeno Seiyuki.

This message made Kimura Kamemi decide to speak directly with Himeno Kiyoyuki to find out more about the matter.

"Madam, it's Kimura Kanmi from the public relations department calling."

"Xiaomei's call? What's it about?"

Himeno Kiyoyuki took the phone and heard Kimura Amami's voice on the other end.

"Madam Qingxue, I heard that you recently hired a tutor?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"He attended the same high school as Ms. Natsuki. Did they ever have any contact?"

"Natsuki didn't know him in high school. With so many people in school, how could she possibly know everyone? Is there something you need?"

Upon hearing this, Kimura Kanmi immediately realized that Himeno Kiyoyuki was unaware of their high school romance.

She took a deep breath, preparing to tell Himeno Kiyoyuki about it.

But the next second, she had a different idea.

[Why not help Miss Natsuki keep this a secret and do her a favor?]

"It's alright, Madam Qingxue. We discovered this information by chance while dealing with Miss Natsuki's public relations crisis, and we wanted to tell you about it."

"Haha, I already know that. Thank you all for your hard work."

"It's alright, we're here to serve you wholeheartedly."

Kimura Kamemi hung up the phone, let out a long sigh of relief, and then asked her subordinates to find Himeno Natsuki's contact information.

Himeno Natsuki, who was making a cake in her art studio, heard her cell phone ring.

"Hello, who is this?"

Hino Natsuki was wary of the unfamiliar phone call.

"I am Kimura Kanmi, the head of public relations at the Himeno Group. Are you Ms. Himeno Natsuki? I have received your cake. It was delicious, and the design was very artistic."

"I wonder if you've delivered the documents we sent to Mrs. Himeno?"

"Ms. Kimura, have you considered becoming a full-time housewife?"

"Miss Natsuki, you can say that to other people without any problem, but don't even think about threatening me. In the 1950s, my grandfather returned from studying in the United States and met with his childhood friend, who is also your grandfather."

"It was he who suggested that your grandfather imitate the Italian Mafia and establish a yakuza organization. For more than half a century, our Kimura family has been diligently assisting the Himeno family."

"Miss Natsuki, I hope you understand my good intentions. I, Kimura Kanmi, am not a coward! You think you can scare me with a picture of a severed head?"

"You think I wouldn't dare tell your mom directly that your high school boyfriend is working at your house? I'm only calling to help you!"

"How much money do you want?"

"Oh, Ms. Natsuki, do you think the Kimura family is short of money? Let's arrange a time to meet; we need to discuss this in person."

"Tomorrow morning."

A cold glint flashed in Himeno Natsuki's eyes.

"No problem, I'll choose a coffee shop and wait for Miss Natsuki there."

Himeno Natsuki put down her phone, feeling down.

"Miss Natsuki, is there something you need?"

The assistant asked from the side.

"It's nothing, nothing at all. Let's hurry up and make the cake. Oh, by the way, I'm going to see a friend tomorrow morning, could you help me make the arrangements?"

Himeno Natsuki understood that the woman was someone she could not threaten.

When my grandfather was alive, he often remarked that Mr. Kimura was his Zhuge Liang.

She had no means to threaten Kimura Kanmi.

The next morning, in a private room at a coffee shop, Himeno Natsuki met Kimura Ami.

"Miss Natsuki, is there anything you'd like to drink? It's on me."

Kimura Kanmi held the menu and adjusted her glasses.

"What do you want? Tell me quickly."

"No, no, Miss Natsuki, I think you've misunderstood me. I don't want anything."

"Then what was the point of you asking me out?"

"Please don't doubt my loyalty. Miss Natsuki, I risked everything to hide your past relationship from high school for your sake."

"Then please keep this secret forever, and I will remember your kindness."

"I am loyal to the Himeno family, and I serve everyone in the Himeno family. I don't care how Yamazaki Kazuka ended up in your household."

"But at least I can confirm that your mother, Madam Qingxue, knows nothing about your past."

"So what?"

"Miss Natsuki, I hope you can understand my position. In principle, I cannot hide this from your parents or even your uncle. Your marriage is not just your own business."

"What exactly do you want?"

"I can keep this a secret, but you must get rid of Yamazaki Kazukaze. You and he can't continue like this."

Kimura Kanmi's words made Himeno Natsuki feel suffocated.

"My sister needs him."

"Miss Natsuki, don't use Miss Saki as a cover. Your secret relationship with Mr. Yamazaki can't continue; it will bring him disaster."

Are you threatening me?

"Miss Natsuki, if you really care about him, then leave him."

"No! I waited three years to reunite with him, and I will never let him leave my side again."

"Sigh, you really are a devoted person. If you don't leave him, you'll soon receive news that the Yamazaki family's hot spring inn is closing down."

"You are a member of the Himeno family, and you know their way of doing things best."
